Howdy, friend :) Are you still in the depths of a drama slump? I am having a hard time getting into anything lately too! Hope everything is going well with you :)

Haha, bipolar movies and dramas can be a lot of fun to watch :p When you have emotions fighting wars inside you, it gets pretty intense! I will definitely add Himizu to my PTW list :)

I don't know any girl in the world who would be offended by being called pretty ;) Thank you!

Ok awesome! I wish there was a way to chat simultaneously between the three of us! I wonder if you can do a joint message on MDL like you can on Facebook!

Howdy :) I absolutely don't mind if you call me Ally, just about everyone does! Welcome to MDL :) I see you are a fan of melodramas. You should definitely check out Missing You! I swear, I have never cried so much in my life than while watching that drama. I also see you are starting White Christmas! I have been curious about starting that for a while now. I am such a chicken but I have been in the mood for something dark lately! :)

OH! And we most definitely should make plans to watch Heirs together!!

This is such a great article!! I have only seen Jaejoong and Yoochun in dramas, but I definitely agree with their placement! JJ isn't a bad actor, I liked him in Protect The Boss. But he lacks the range Yoochun has. From imperious prince, to stodgy scholar, to heartbroken cop, the few roles that Yoochun has played have been captivating to me. Though, I have zero desire to watch Miss Ripley, his presence has almost had me starting it a couple of times now. But you are so right, he is a flirty guy, and I just love it when he flashes that smile at whoever he is trying to charm. I need more Yoochun in my life! :p

If you guys are still ready for it, I was thinking to start the BB marathoning tomorrow around 10 or 11 my time - 9 or 10 your time! Unless that's too early, then I can definitely push it back :)

I completely agree with all of your reasonings!!!!! At first I was so upset about the whole thing, because even if he has his memories, it still means the prince had to live the rest of his life without Park Ha. But I chose to not think about that and just be happy for the modern day couple! I will try to remember the spoiler button. I always forget! I am just so glad you liked it, even though it is so heartbreaking at times. I think I had only figured out that Park Ha was the one who had died in the past an episode or two before. The scene where she pushes him out of the way of the car and he is trying to pull her out, the full circle, it was heartbreaking! But seriously, just how the heck did that family think they could get away with pretending the princess was Boo Young for the rest of their lives? I guess they didn't care once they moved to kill the prince! Once he was dead I guess they could make up whatever they wanted!

Haha, juxtaposition is one of my overused words, along with anthropomorphism. I don't know, I just use them every chance I get :p I watched like 10 more minutes of L7 last night before falling asleep. I'm such a whimp. I think I need a break from it, and A buzzer best marathon sounds like a perfect idea! What time zone are you in? I am in Central time, and I'm gonna start it around 10 or 11 tomorrow so we can try to stay on the same page while marathoning it. I wish mdL had a feature where three people could talk in the same message! That's why I like Facebook so much more!

Haha, one of my best friends lives out in El Paso! It's such a shame that more Texans don't enjoy the fine art that is kdramas :p

I really don't want to see LMH in a role like he had in BBF. I liked it the first time around, but after City Hunter, Personal Taste and Faith, I'd really be mad to go back to jerk Jun Pyo!

I really like her, and she was my second pick! After YEH's performance in Missing You though, I have been hoping she picks up something great to work on, and something written by Secret Garden writer sounds like it could be great :p

Rooftop Prince will just keep getting more and more intense as you go! Tae Mu and Se Na just make some of the absolute worst decisions in the world!!

Tax season is, as ever, exhausting :p I fell asleep last night as soon as I got home from work! I am still on episode 11, I only watched about 30 minutes yesterday of kdramas. I'm so bad :p

Isn't it such an odd juxtaposition, seeing him go from sweet and innocent to bat crap insane? Blows my mind how well he was able to pull that off!

I'm just hoping that even though they compare it to BBF and Gossip Girl that it's not a high school drama!

Did you see they cast Park Shin Hye in the new Lee Min Ho drama? I can't decide if I am excited or bummed :p I was kind of holding out hope for Yoon Eun Hye :p

Jdramas are too much like watching live action anime, even when they aren't based on anime! And you're so right, the slapstick humor doesn't cross over well! It took a long time to get over all of the bathroom humor in Kdramas! Koreans seem so much more comfortable with their daily ablutions than American culture, I think.

I never noticed it when I finally got around to SI, but looking back you are right! They do have a lot of similarities!! I can't wait to watch a drama with you that we can actually love :p I think I have just been in a funky drama mood lately :p

Yay for Yoochun wising up!!! I was so excited when that finally happened, if it had taken any longer I might have snapped :p What episode are you on?

Howdy! I see your from Texas, too! What part? I think you're my first fellow Texan to meet on here :p

Oh, absolutely! She would love to be friends with you, I'm sure :) And then that way we can all talk about it easier :)

Awesome, that makes it so much easier!! My friend Akumi said that if she finished her other drama that she is marathoning to try and slow down her L7 watching for me, she wants to watch Buzzer Beat with us on Saturday :)

They definitely shove the idea of separation in your face way, WAY more than QIHM did. But there I go comparing the two when I just told you not to :p RP was my first Yoochun, he was hard to warm up to at first, just because he was so pretentious! But as you've seen he gets better and starts wanting to do nice things for Park Ha. That is the perfect analogy for Park Ha, comparing her to the Shining Inheritance sister. There just aren't people like that in the world, are there? The ever nice, constantly taking that kind of crap from family and never, ever saying anything?? I mean, I take crap from my family, but never something so evil as SI or Se Na. When I wrote my Villains article for the page her and Tae Mu made the list, and I said that Se Na was worse than Tae Mu! Tae Mu was evil, but most of his villainy came from trying to cover up a horrible mistake that he walked away from. Se Na was just a cold-hearted b*tch who I you never once feel any kind of sympathy or compassion for!

Yay for watching Prosecutor Princess and Buzzer Beat with us! Seriously, the more the merrier :) It's so much fun getting to gab with everyone about what we are watching. I will try very hard to keep an open mind about it! I just have had bad luck with the jdramas I've watched. Though, it's probably because I always choose reverse harem dramas, and those are always off the wall goofy.

I think L7 has been one of the biggest drama disappointments for me. It had such potential, but as it is, it's not reaching it! Oh, and don't, don't DON'T watch Playful Kiss. It's utterly miserable! Ha Ni is so weak and insipid and Baek Sung Jo is such a jerk, it was one of my least favorites.

So, it's 8:42 your time right now? I think I am an hour later than you are, it's 9:42 right now. That's not a bad difference, makes it easy :)

Haha, I never really noticed it before! I guess I do use it a lot :p
